Weblog Love on Wednesdays

Seriously, books (and the online book blogging community) are awesome, people. That being said, there are tons of fantastic things from the interwebs this week, so let's get right down to it.

1. Fun and General Bookishness

Books on the Nightstand was rocking and rolling this week with two excellent non-podcast posts to their blog. Check out their posts about a moving story of a moving book (don't you love books that make you cry?) and a cool feature about an elementary school book club (don't you wish you had a teacher like that?).

The National Book Awards were announced recently and there was a little hullabaloo about Stitches (the autobiographical adult/YA graphic novel by David Small) being included with the children's short list. 100 Scope Notes did us all a service by rounding up the various hullabaloo-related posts.

I've added Edge of Seventeen to my Google reader because the bloggess brings a unique sense and sensibility (and perspective) as an employee of an independent book store. Good reviews and wicked contests.
